1、一 定语：修饰名词或代词的词、短语或从句称为定语。汉语中常用的表示。 定语主要由形容词担任。此外名词、代词、数词、副词、介词短语以及动词不定式（短语） 、分词也可以做定语。a beautiful city; a bag full of money.注意：汉语的定语无论多长都放在被修饰词的前面，而英语中的定语则不然，是一个词时，放在被修饰词的前面， 若是两个以上的词组、短语或从句则放在被修饰词的后面，thirty women teachers ; his father; the girl in red. the boy from America Our monitor is always the
2、 first student to enter the classroom. falling leaves; fallen leaves; the boy playing basketball; the book bought by my mother; a reading room; a swimming poolHe is the man who you are looking for. 二：定义及相关术语1定语从句：修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。定语从句一般紧跟在它所修饰的先行词之后。2先行词：被定语从句修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。3关系词：引导定语从句的词叫关系词。关系词有关系代词

14、，比如 time, day, week, month, year 等；且定语从句中缺时间状语时用 when. 若先行词是表时间的名词，定语从句中缺主语或宾语时，用 that/which 引导。I still remember the day when I first came to this school. The time when we got together finally arrived. Do you remember the years when he lived in the countryside with his grandpare？Do you remember the
15、days（that/which） we spent together last year? I will never forget the days when we spent our holidays together. I will never forget the days that / which we spent together. 2 where 指地点，在定语从句中作地点状语。若先行词是表地点的名词，比如 park, city, farm, place 等；且定语从句中缺地点状语时用 where. 若先行词是表地点的名词，定语从句中缺主语或宾语时，用 that/which 引导。
16、Shanghai is the city where I was born. 上海是我出生的城市。The house where I lived ten years ago has been pulled down. I visited the farm where a lot of cows were raised .

18、语从句经常可以用“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句来表示。如：From the years when / in which he was going to primary school in the country he had known what he wanted to be when he grew up. Great changes are taking place in the city where / in which they live. The reason why / for which he refused the invitation is quite clear. （四
19、） “介词+关系代词 which/whom”引导的定语从句关系代词在定语从句中作介词宾语时，从句常常由“介词+关系代词”引出。The school (which / that) he once studied in is very famous.The school in which he once studied is very famous. Tomorrow Ill bring here the magazine (which / that) you asked for.Tomorrow Ill bring here the magazine for which you asked. T
20、his is the boy (whom / who / that) I played tennis with yesterday.This is the boy with whom I played tennis with yesterday. Well go to hear the famous singer (whom / who / that) we have often talked about.Well go to hear the famous singer about whom we have often talked. The manager whose company I
21、work in pays much attention to improving our working conditions.The manager in whose company I work pays much attention to improving our working conditions.注意： 含有介词的固定短语动词一般不拆开，介词仍放在短语动词的后面。如：look for, look after, take care of 等。This is the watch (which / that) I am looking for. (正) This is the watc
22、h for which I am looking . (误)The babies (whom / who / that) the nurse is looking after are very healthy. (正) The babies after whom the nurse is looking are very healthy. （误）若介词放在关系代词前，关系代词指人时只可用 whom，不可用 who, that；关系代词指物时只可用 which，不可用 that。The man with whom you talked just now is my neighbour. (正)
23、The man with that / who you talked just now is my neighbour. (误)The plane in which we flew to Canada was really comfortable. (正) The plane in that we flew to Canada was really comfortable. (误) “介词+关系代词 ”前还可有 some, any, none, all, both, neither, many, most, each, few 等代词或者数词。如：He loves his parents de
24、eply, both of whom are very kind to him. In the basket there are quite many apples, some of which have gone bad. There are forty students in our class in all, most of whom are from big cities. Up to now, he has written ten stories, three of which are about country life. 注意事项:如何判断关系代词和关系副词方法一： 用关系代词，
25、还是关系副词完全取决于从句中的谓语动词。不及物动词后面无宾语，就必须要求用关系副词或者是介词加关系代词；而及物动词后接宾语，则要求用关系代词。例如：This is the mountain village where I stayed last year. Ill never forget the days when I worked together with you. 判断改错（注：先显示题，再显示答案，横线；用不同的颜色表示出。 ） （错） This is the mountain village where I visited last year. （错） I will never f
26、orget the days when I spent in the countryside. （对） This is the mountain village (which) I visited last year. （对） Ill never forget the days (which) I spent in the countryside. 方法二： 准确判断先行词在定语从句中的成分( 主、谓、宾、定、状)，也能正确选择出关系代词/关系副词。例 1. Is this museum _ you visited a few days ago? A. where B. that C. on
27、which D. the one例 2. Is this the museum _ the exhibition was held?A. where B. that C. on which D. the one 答案： 关系词的选择依据在从句中所做的成分，先行词在从句中做主、定、宾语时，选择关系代词 (who, whom, that, which, whose)； 先行词在从句中做状语时，应选择关系副词 ( where 地点状语，when 时间状语，why 原因状语) 。（五）限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句限制性定语从句 形式上：不用逗号“， ”与主句隔开。意义上：是先行词不可缺少的定语，如
28、删除，主句则失去意义或意思表达不完整。译法上：译成先行词的定语：“ 的”关系词的使用上：A作宾语时可省略 B可用 that C可用 who 代替 whom非限制性定语从句形式上：用逗号“， ”与主句隔开。意义上：只是对先行词的补充说明，如删除，主句仍能表达完整的意思。译法上：通常译成主句的并列句。关系词的使用上：A不可省略 B不用 that C不可用 who 代替 whom限制性定语从句举例：The teacher told me that Tom was the only person that I could depend on. China is a country which has
29、a long history. In the street I saw a man who was from Africa. His mother, who loves him very much, is strict with him. China, which was founded in 1949, is becoming more and more powerful. Last summer I visited the Peoples Great Hall, in which many important meetings are held every year. （二）关系代词 as
30、 和 which 引导的定语从句as 和 which 引导非限制性定语从句时， 其用法有相同之处，也有不同之处。具体情况是：1. as 和 which 都可以在定语从句中做主语或宾语，代表前面整个句子。如：He married her, as / which was natural. 他跟她结婚了，这是很自然的事。He is honest, as / which we can see. 他很诚实， 这一点我们看得出来。2. as 引导的非限制性定语从句可以放在主句之前、主句之后，甚至还可以分割主句。 which 引导的非限制性定语从句只可放在主句之后。另外，as 常常有“正如、正像”的含义。如
31、：As is known to all, China is a developing country. He is from the south, as we can know from his accent. John, as you know, is a famous writer. Zhang Hua has been to Paris more than ten times, which I dont believe. 注意：当主句和从句之间存在着逻辑上的因果关系时，关系词往往只用 which。如：Tom was late for school again and again, whi
32、ch made his teacher very angry. These tables are made of metal, which made them very heavy. 1. 当先行词受 such, so, the same 修饰时，关系词常用 as。 如：Ive never heard such stories as he tells. He is not such a fool as he looks. This is the same dictionary as I lost last week. 注意：当先行词受 the same 修饰时，偶尔也用 that 引导定语从句
33、，但与 as 引导的定语从句意思有区别。如：She wore the same dress that she wore at Marys wedding. She wore the same dress as her younger sister wore. (三) 以 the way 为先行词时，若定语从句中缺方式状语，定语从句通常由 in which 或 that引导，而且还可以省略。若定语从句中缺主语或宾语，用（that/which）引导定语从句。The way (that / in which ) he answered the questions was surprising. I
34、dont like the way (that / in which) you laugh at her. I dont like the way (that/which) he told me.做定语从句题一般分三步：第一找出先行词；第二看先行词在定语从句中的语法功能（做主语、宾语或状语） ；第三选择合适的关联词。Exercises:1.There are three bedrooms in the house,_ is Marys. A the smallest of which B the smaller of which C the smallest of them D the sma

I dont like _ you speak to her. A. the way B. they way in that C. the way which D. the way of which 答案与简析： 1. B。当先行词被 such
41、修饰时，定语从句用 as 引导，即构成结构为“such+（a/an ）形容词名词as“引导的定语从句，意为“. 像.一样的“。整个句子意为：这些房屋以人们原来估计的那样低的价格出售。 2. A。由 so interesting a story = such an interesting story 和上面一题的解释便可得知答案。as在定语从句中作宾语。整句意为：我从未听说过像你告诉我那样有趣的故事。 3. A 4. C。当先行词被 same 修饰时，定语从句由 that 或 as 引导，但意思不同。用 that 引导定语从句指同一物，而用 as 引导定语从句指同类事物。 5. A。做此题的关键
42、是要知道 I think 在定语从句中作插入语，做题时将其去掉便可容易得到答案。 6. B。s 在此引导非限制性定语从句，代表它所修饰的整个句子内容，并且它可放在所修饰句子的前、中或后面。其常见结构如：as you know, as is said above, as is often the case（情况经常是这样）等。如选，则需将逗号改为 that；如选 D，则需将逗号改为 is that。 7. A。当先行词为 the first time, the last time 等时，定语从句的引导词用 that 而不用when。 8. A。当先行词为 way 时，定语从句的引导词用 that
43、 或 in which, 也可省略。定语从句1 This is the best factory _we visited last year .A. where B. which C. in which D. that2.Is this the factory _computers are built ?A. that B. which C. in which D. in that3.please pass me the dictionary _cover is red .A. whose B.its C. which D. which of4.The man _has arrived .A.
